If we consider competing platforms like that of the Apple, Android has quite a few things to improve. Face recognition system in Android can improve and can become more accurate. Security parameters can be improved on considering the increased security theft worldwide. But in spite of the challenges in the path, future of Android looks interesting.
With the launch of the latest Android Nougat, Android has introduced several new features which make it quite superior as compared to its earlier versions. Much needed features like multiple windows, faster notification, data savers, quicker multitasking in Android Nougat makes it a tough competition for the other competing OS like Windows or iOS. When it comes to predicting the future of Android here is a list of 7 things which might change for good in Android in the years to come.
